Because white reflects sunlight, and black absorbs sunlight. Therefore, a white car would be cooler.

Do white cars stay coler in summer?

Well, that depends on the interior of the car, too. Bright colors, like white, don't absorb much sunlight, thus, making it cooler than dark colors would, like black, drak grey, dark brown, etc. The material in the car also matters.


Is it true that different color automobiles some how draw heat?

Dark color vehicles wil be hotter than lighter colored vehicles. The surface of a white car vs. a black car in the summer can be 50 degrees cooler.


Is a white car cooler than a black car or will both cars reach the same temperature IN THE SUN after a measurable period of time?

Both a white car and a black car will reach similar temperatures when left in the sun for a period of time. The color of the car affects how much heat is absorbed, but ultimately both will heat up due to solar radiation. Other factors such as the material and insulation of the car play a bigger role in determining the internal temperature.


What did the Mythbusters find when they tested whether a black car or a white car is cooler in the sun?

The Mythbusters found that a white car is cooler in the sun compared to a black car.


Why does a dark coloured car absorb more heat than a white colour car?

Dark colored cars absorb more heat from the sun because they are refractive rather than reflective. That is to say, dark colors - on a car or anything else - absorb heat, rather than reflecting it back the way light colors and white do.


Is the trunk of a car cooler than the interior of the vehicle?

The trunk of a car is typically not cooler than the interior of the vehicle.


Which color, white or black, is better at reflecting heat in a car, and how does this affect the temperature inside the vehicle?

White is better at reflecting heat in a car compared to black. This means that a white car will absorb less heat from the sun, keeping the interior cooler than a black car.


Why on a hot summer days the inside of the white car is cooler than the inside of black car?

White is a natural reflector of light and heat where black has a hugely lower capability to reflect light and heat from the same source


Why on a hot summer day inside of a white car is cooler than the inside of a black car?

White is a natural reflector of light and heat where black has a hugely lower capability to reflect light and heat from the same source


Why getting in a dark car in the summer is unpleasent?

Black absorbs the sun's ultraviolet rays/energy making the car hotter than, slver or white.


Why is it better to have a light coloured car in the summer than a dark one?

You must know that white (light colored object) absorbs the least amount of heat and dark colored objects absorb the most heat. Hence in summers, a light colored car will absorb less heat and keep the car cool while in winters, the dark cars will absorb more heat and keep the car warm.


Does a white car reflect light?

Yes, a white car reflects light because white surfaces typically reflect more light than they absorb, which is why white cars are often considered cooler in hot weather compared to darker-colored cars. The reflective properties of the white surface help to minimize heat absorption.
